The City of Berlin Beautifully Illuminated
Scenes and Incidents.

'N'h'S ''it
BERLIN, March 22.-To night Berlin is
like city of fire. Steeplss and domes
shine with brilliancy. Electric light is
the ground work of the illumination
Three rose colored lights radiating
from lofty avenues in the center of
the city where palaces are situated
to remote streets. From roofs of
houses Bengal fires are every
where sending forth soft, glowing
flames. In Leipsiger Platz under Den
Linden and all large streets every house
contributes to the general effect. Crown
stars and eagles are in rich profusion
and numerous colossal busts of the en-
peror surrounded with exotic
plants are displayed. Electric
lignts on the square tower of
the town hall emit ruddy glare on
Brande nburg. At the gate are immense
cauldr ons from which flames are bursting
forth every moment. Colossal arches at
Potsdam station are illuminated with
blazing pitch fires. Amidst all this
glow and light 500 900 persoas moved
in perfect order. After dinner the EN-
perer and empress and Crown Prince
Frederick William and his wife returned
to the palace and attended soiree in the
white hall of the royal castle. The hall
was divided into two sections,
one for the stage and the other
for the guests. The two front rows of
seats were reserved for the princesses
of imperial and royal blood. In front of
these were placed three arm chairs for
the emperor and the queens of Saxony
and Roumania. The emperor, however,
refused to occupy the conspicuous position
selected, and seated himself in the row
with other members of the royalty. AT
8 O'Clock the empress entered the hall on
the arm of her grandson, Prince William,
walking with the aid of cane. She looks
much older and more feeble than the
emperor. She wore pale green dress
trimmed with lace, and had diamonds IN
her hair.
When all the guests had assembled the
performance began with tabloaux vivant,
representing Charles ~. in Augsburg.

During the interval between the first and
second parts of the entertainment, the
emperor walked about and exchanged
greetings with his guests, convers-
ing with the Prince of Wales and
Princess Christian and Irene. Passing
between ths rows of seats he shook hands
with the ambassadors and their wives and
saying few words to number of diplo-
mats. Grand Duchess Vladimir wore a
costume of pink satin with sable trim
mings and tiara of diamonds and
stomaches of emeralds and diamonds.
The crown princess was attired ia

glass of wine or brandy, but the lady
simply waived it away, saying that she
would be able to undergo the operation
The do ,tors consulted for a moment
and decided to take the woman at her
word and go ahead. They barred her arm
to the shoulder, laid her on her side and
then buried the knife in the flesh. cut a
big cash over six inches in length, pulled
the bleeding pieces apart, removed the
tumor, scraped the bone, and then sewed
the parts together. During all this time

| Eighty Furnished Cottages and Boarding
Houses At Chautauqua Burned-NO Fire De-
! partment- Heroic Effects
JAMESTOWN, n. Y, March 21.-Fire at
the Chautauqua assembly grounds early
this morning destroyed eighty buildings,
including several large boarding houses,
among them the Eckert and Parkhurst
and Alling houses. The total loss will
probably exceed 100000. The fire
started shortly before midnight in the
| Curtiss cottage on Simpson avenue. 1t
was caused by defective hue. The
buildings and cottages are of wood and
are close together. The fire spread rap
idly to the adjoining cottages, and the
lack of fire apparatus and the scarcity
| of help favored the flames. About sixty
families remain on the grounds during
the winter serson. Citizens from May
vile and the surrounding towns arrived
on the scenes and greatly aided the resi-
dents. The fire swept everythsng before
il, taking both sides of Simpson and
SummerfieId avenues from the auditor
ium to the Hotel Atheneum. 1t was with
great difficulty that the hotel was saved,
The absenence of a high wind alone
saved from destruction the large and
costly structure. The fire departments
at Cory, Erie and other cities were tele
graphed for, but the Cory department
alone responded. special train was
run from that city to Mayville.
The heroic work of the winter
residents and farmers from the surround
ing country undoubtedly prevented the
destruction of the entire assembly, with
its costly buildings and 800 cottages. All
the cottages and boarding houses III the
- l,g.I
equipped, and very little furniture was
saved. Many of the burned cottages on
Simpson avenue was built last year. This
was the most fashionable avenue on the
grounds. The cottages cost from $4,000
to $4,000 each. The loss is divided as
follows: Thirty-sjx buildings on Simpson
avenue, twenty four buildings on Sum
mertield avenue, six cottages on Terrace
avenue, and three on Hedding avenue.
The magnificent forest trees shading the
streets were burned and destroyed.
Among the cottages destroyed were
those belonging to the following named
persons DR.. Ballard, of Bradford, the
finest cottage on the grounds; Judge
Whitmore, of Warren, Pa; Mrs. Martin,
of Mayville; Mrs. Ecker, of jamestown;
Mrs. Briggs, of Lafayette, Ind; Mrs. j.
Cook, of Ohio; the Rev. William White,
of Panama, N. Y. the Rev. j. E. Chavir,
of Westfeld, two cottages; FL. Ii. Moore,
of Chautauqua; Mrs. Burnell, of James
town, three cottages; Miss A. Cummings,
of Chautauqua; Mr.. Fassett, of Franklin,
Pa.
Six cottages on Ashbury avenue were
destroyed in addition to those already
reported. Among the additiona! losses
ara the following: The cottages of Mrs.
Carnahan, the Rev. Mr.. Goodrich, Mr..
Kimberlake, the Heath cottage. Mrs. Glib
hony, l.. L. Neal and r. M. Smith.
The only means of fighting the fire was
with axes and buckets, and many of the
residents fought the flames until they
were prostrated.

ST.. PAUL, March PA Pioneer-Press
special from Bismarck, OAK, says the
river rose steadily until the middle of this
afternoon, when 1t came to stand still,
and is now falling. 1t reached twelve
inches higher than ever before. The
river is now clear of ice. The water
flooded all the lower part of Mandan, but
up to last night the sidewalks
had not been submerged. A telegraph
line will be strung along the solid
ice to Mandan tomorrow. Railroad
tracks now covered with ice will have to
be cut out but it won't take more than q
day or two. The special kilograms to
eastern papers have greatly exaggerated
affairs here and at Mandan. No lives are
jeoparGized. Tomorrow those of the 300
delayed passengers now here who wish
to cross the river will be transfer
red in boats. As soon as the
water subsidies sufficiently repairs will be
made to the Northern Pacific bridge
which can be put in shape in two days.
At ten O'Clock tonight the river is
stationary. There will be but little delay
in travel from nov on whether the water

About the only trouble at that place Is

the murder was committed on railroad

considered by the defense as very much
in their favor for they believe that the
evidence will sh.w that the crime could
not have been committed in Grundy

by the people but none passed upon by
the defense. 1t is supposed that the trial
will occupy from two to three weeks.
